NederlandsDue to the tight labor market, employers are increasingly open to lateral entrants. In the new RTL4 program 'What I always wanted to become', Actief Werkt! offers people who are considering a career switch the chance to experience a job for one day that matches their interests and abilities.
We were all asked the same question: what do you want to be when you grow up? One had a direct and convincing answer, the other was still in doubt. Pilot, astronaut, doctor. All kinds of professions passed in review, but what have we really become? Did you start doing what you always wanted to be, or did you take a completely different route? Are you still satisfied with the work you are doing now? Or have you become interested in something completely different?
In the program 'What I always wanted to become' experienced employees are given the opportunity to embark on a new and promising career path. For one day, they will experience a profession that matches their interests and abilities and where there are good job opportunities for lateral entrants. Whether it is a match remains to be seen.
Also curious how they are doing? 'What I always wanted to become' can be seen on RTL 4 every Saturday afternoon from Saturday 1 February at 5 p.m.
